Thanks to all the QUICK responses:
Original Question:

} Hello sun-managers!
}
} I have a number of users creating korn and C shell scripts for
file
} processing. They need to place these scripts in their
individual cron } areas for automatic execution. How do they
ensure that their jobs run } under the appropriate shell (korn or
bourne or c)? Also, not all
} users may use the same shell, so it would be nice to do this on
an
} individual user basis. Is there a way to include their
.profile for } the shell environment? Thanks for any input you
may have.


As I had suspected the answer is:

place the syntax for the appropriate shell at the top of each script.

#!/bin/<shell>


Again thanks to all!
